Just moved into an older house and am starting to gather older furniture ...because I just LOVE it! Ran across this at a second hand furniture store and they only wanted $100 for it. Any info on age and worth would be appreciated. It's 3/4 sized.
Turn of the century iron bed. Antiques not much in fashion now and the 3/4 size keeps value down. Think it is worth about what you paid for it. Probably could buy it cheaper at auction and might see it more expensive in a fancy shop.
I like it....and looks like someone kept it out of the rain!! The 3/4 size is great if you have a single guest or just that not too big spare room for a bed!!! Big question.... do you plan to paint it or what??? Could have some fun with it!!!! Edit: Not sure....you might have to special order the 3/4 size box spring and mattress.....but that shouldn't be a big deal!!!
You can now order little attachments to make these standard size and save a bunch on box springs and mattress. Patd
Thank you for the info! I love the finish on it, looks like it has never been touched and I plan on leaving it as is. The rails can be connected upside down and I have the brackets to extend it to fit a full size bedset.
